What I Wore: Poncho Sweater + Skinny Jeans + Ankle Boots

Monday, January 16, 2017


When it comes to selecting a poncho sweater, you must try it on to get the full effect. I almost let this beauty get away because it was so unflattering on the hanger. I am a big advocate for trying all items before making a decision to purchase, especially dresses. However, when it comes to tops and blouses, I am not so excited to try them one. When I saw this poncho sweater on the rack, it looked like a pile of knit fabric and it did not appeal to my style. Then, as I looked closer, I noticed the sequins and plunging neckline. That is what caught my attention. I tried it on and I was immediately in love!  It is now one of my favorite thrifted finds. I wore it this past weekend, while hosting the Thrifting Atlanta Bus Tour . I paired mine with my very old and faithful Express skinny jeans. I cuffed the jeans a little past my ankle, so I can highlight my thrifted ankle boots.

The brand of the poncho sweater is MODA International, which retails at department stores like Macy's for $49. The Goodwill Stone Mountain, GA thrift store price was $6. I also thrifted the ankle boots the Goodwill Covington Store. The brand is Mossimo Supply Co which retails at Target for $37. The Goodwill thrift store was price $7.

  10. This looks great on you! I have one poncho that was given to me for Christmas and I love it! I wasn't sure if I could pull it off because I'm kind of short but it looks great! I actually used a dark poncho as a breastfeeding cover, it works great and I got tons of complements asking me where I got it. Just a regular ol' poncho. It was awesome because it fully covered everything, even my sides and my back. I love those shoes though! I need to get me a pair of those!
